The giant spider crossed the darkness of nothingness and slowly stepped into the world behind the scenes.

He first stretched out an arthropod to perceive the chaotic ocean with the tiny tentacles on it, and then pressed the outstretched arthropod into the void space, dragging the rest of his body little by little into this wonderful world.

First the other forelimb, then the chelicerae, and then most of the body and other limbs went into the background.

Behind the scenes is chaos, madness, disorder, a realm beyond human reason, and all the main material beings who come here are like a lonely boat trapped in the stormy waves, drifting with the wind in the endless sea without land and islands, until they are swallowed by this cannibalistic sea.

The laws of physics, the laws of fundamental mathematics, and logic are unpopular in this realm, just as Kelly has demonstrated the ability to compress distances, and worldly common sense cannot manifest their power here.

This universe is disordered, so anything is possible, and it will never be constrained, and there may be slight differences in the basic rules of every centimeter in this place, this is a chaotic universe, and it is a crazy country.

The absence of the laws of physics, the deformation, the displacement of the world made it impossible to even exist, or at least not to exist stably, but there is no doubt that behind the scenes it appeared from times when it was older than the ancient.

The world continues to be extremely fragile and broken.

That's why Hervin disagrees with some people that reality can be a reflection behind the scenes.

Because this conjecture is nothing more than the unfounded conjecture of cowards based on panic and self-satisfaction, there is no direct evidence to prove the truth of this theory.

And a theory must not be put forward merely because it is funny, scary, or in some philosophical sense, or even considered necessary to be studied.

It must have a supporting evidence or theoretical basis, at least some spiritual connection, otherwise there will be too many similar "interesting" theories to count.

Hervin believes that behind the scenes is a mirror image of reality.

Because unlike some dimensions that have nothing to do with the main material universe, this world has many connections and similarities with the world they live in.

From the habits of living beings to the laws of physics, there are traces to follow.

The physical laws of this dimension, though fragmented, are not as different from the main universe as many other dimensions, but are inextricably linked.

And isn't it because such a dimension should not exist, but it can develop so magnificently, because it is attached to the main universe?

This is the reflection of reality, the most distorted mirror image.

The Shattered Light is one of the twisted deities of this universe.

And the precursor of this deity was the shadow of the sun, the brightest star.

It used to shine brighter than the sun.

Until the moment when a planet falls apart.

I don't know if it's because the real sun god is angry, or if the gods of reality are afraid of this powerful and gentle god, in short, it ends badly.

Many people speculate that Hewen's identity was involved in the Star Shattering Incident, and it is true that he did his best to collect all the pieces and reforge them to the Shining Star.

He failed.

And the greatest legacy of this shattered star is the shattered light of the gods that grew from its corpse.

Hewen has a good relationship with the Shining Star, and if it's still there, as long as it finds it, it can help Hewen solve any problems behind the scenes.

But with the Broken Light, the relationship between them is more complicated.

Hewen hoped he wouldn't notice his arrival.

However, the name of Natas once symbolized death and poison here, and even if the Broken Light did hear his coming, it would not be possible to find it in person anytime soon.

But the world behind the scenes is not a smooth place in the first place.

The completely transparent body of the giant ray exudes brilliant colors and swims slowly like waves wrapped in countless colorful bubbles.

Wherever it passes, it leaves behind a strange viscous liquid, poisonous enough to make demigods run frantically, and once it is contaminated with even a little, it will fall into an eternal dream, unable to die, unable to think, or even no longer exist, and everything for all poisoned people belongs to the Lord of Dreams.

Pitch-black shadows slowly poured out from the huge floating stone wall, sticking to it and twitching continuously, spraying black liquid towards the surroundings, and all creatures caught by the liquid would turn into a pitch-black shadow, slowly swimming back to the main body, expanding the area of the shadow.

Countless dark shadows, much smaller than the two, slowly approached, and upon closer inspection, they revealed that they were a group of humanoids dressed in cloth and wearing hoods, but the gray withered arms protruding from the four cuffs could prove that they were not human.

However, it is impossible for humans to live here, and these hordes of creatures are one of the few species with a simple social structure behind the scenes.

Even from a distance, Hewen could faintly see two insect tentacle-like organs on their heads under the hood.

This is why they are able to maintain their social fabric in this chaotic place, the pair of tentacles that bind them all together, one is many, and many is one.

Each Ender is an individual, but the spiritual connection between them creates a field of consciousness that not only gives them the ability to work together efficiently, but also creates a mental storm that can repel terrifying creatures.

This field of consciousness can even help in daily life, foraging, religious activities, city building, and even military training, and in some ways their social structure is based on this racial identity.

Even though Hervin is like an ant in the real universe compared to in his heyday, here, Natas shelters him, Natas praises him, and Natas is him.

This empty body was far more powerful than he had shown, for the gesture was great not only because of him, but also because of what he had done behind the scenes.

Natas is not just one side of Hervin, it's also Natas itself.

Dream rays swim merrily in the sky, celebrating the return of the only monarch of all poisons.

The indetachable shadow swells with instinct, expanding the realm of the Lord of Shadows.

The Anders, led by the High Priest, fell to their knees reverently, countless luminescent lights lit up intermittently on their two tentacles, and with the energy field, the priests and nuns sang solemnly, and they began an important ritual that had been stopped for many years.

Countless fluorescent rays are connected to each other, composing the most moving music under the slight vibration, and this great prayer can be heard even in other distant lands.

At this moment, all the Anders bowed their heads and whispered the name of Natas.
